He is a one-of-a-kind person. I can not say enough good things about him or his service. Embraer is lucky to have him. ”

I've known Mike since 1997 and he has been always very helpful with us.
He is a great person to deal with, very frendly and he will go all the way to help a customer.
He really deserves the recognition.

Mark Hand is extrodinary in every way. His technical knowledge is superb , his customer service is world class. He was the key to my success as the DOM of a corporate shuttle fleet. Mark goes way above and beyond for his company and customers.
Embraer is a great company with exceptional people and product!!

If I was told the survival of my department depended on getting my broken Gulfstream working right now, my first call would be to Jim Beebe, period. They do don't come any better. He is the walking definition of real Technical Support. This statement of opinion turned hard fact not so long ago should encourage Gulfstream to please find more like him (if possible).
